Anyways, they will also ask for your availability just in case they will offer you the job.
It is a + for you if you are here in Australia already since they would prefer their would-be employee settled already and will be focus on his/her job the very first day.
Try not only seek.com.au - get to the corporate websites and look for openings. This is the path I took.

uhm, as per advice na rin ng mga friends ko dito...actually, ang sabi ng iba, kahit wala na daw kung 457 ka, since may work ka na pag dating dito...pero kung PR visa ka at wala ka pang work pagdating dito, its your decision na kumuha since most of the job ads dito e hinihingi nila na may certain certifications or ticket ka para ihire ka nila...pero kung PR ka at nasa pinas ka pa lang e may naghire na sayo...swerte ka...lalo na kung mataas na agad ang offer sayo...
in summary, this RPL, tickets, certifications e pandagdag bala sa CV mo para makakuha ka agad ng work dito sa Oz na maganda at tugma sa profession at sa work experience mo... :-)
